How far do your minds overlap? MindMatch is a compatibility game for two — couples, friends, or family. You both answer the same prompt without seeing each other's answer, then reveal at the same time and get a Sync Rate. There are no right answers: matching is exciting, and differing turns into the best conversations. Both your similarities and your differences become tonight's talking points. PERFECT FOR • Date night when you want something different from the usual • Couples and newlyweds looking to break the routine • Long-distance relationships — two-device mode works across any distance • Game night with friends, parties, breaks between classes • Family time: intuitive enough for kids, fun enough for adults GAMES INCLUDED • Drawing Sync — draw the same prompt (circle, star, heart, house, sun, tree...) separately. Scored out of 100 across five elements: shape, placement and size, angle, stroke style (count, start point, order), and rhythm (how closely your pace matches). Drawing skill doesn't matter — what's compared is the overlap of your habits. The engine even checks circle roundness, drawing direction, and heart symmetry. • Image Choice — answer questions like "Which animal do you like best?" or "Which scene feels most calming?" by picking 1 of 4 images. Over 30 questions across original characters, animals, places, food and scenery, with a fresh set of 5 every game. • Full Sync Course — 5 drawings + 5 picks, 10 rounds total, finished with a combined score and full report. RESULTS WORTH TALKING ABOUT • Compare your drawings side by side, overlaid (cyan and magenta lines glow where they overlap), or watch both being drawn again in real time with Sync Replay • S–D rank verdicts, sync streak combos, and score count-up effects • AI Sync Report: 60+ report types matched to your exact score pattern — the same total with a different breakdown gives a different reading • Choice psychology notes inspired by published personality research (like dog-person/cat-person studies), Jungian archetypes and environmental psychology — what your picks are said to say about you, question by question PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no ads • Your drawings and answers are never sent to external servers or AI • History stays on your device; sharing happens only when you tap share • Available in English, Japanese, Spanish, Chinese and Korean Note: sync rates and reports are for entertainment and do not scientifically or medically evaluate relationships or personality. Download it, play one round of Drawing Sync, and in five minutes you'll know how telepathic you two really are.

一本のロープで、ふたりはつながっている。 「Tether Up!」は、相棒とロープで結ばれたまま、どこまでも高く登り続ける協力クライムアクションです。ステージの切り替えも、チェックポイントも、決められたゴールもありません。あるのは、足場と、風と、綱の向こう側にいるもうひとりだけ。 ◆ ロープが、味方にも敵にもなる ロープはたるんでいる間は自由。でも、ピンと張った瞬間、相棒の重さも勢いもそのまま自分に伝わります。先に跳びすぎれば引き戻され、息が合えば届かなかった足場にも手が届く。引っぱるか、待つか、跳ぶか。そのたった一瞬の判断が、ふたりの高度を決めます。 ◆ 落ちても、終わらない 何十メートル落ちても大丈夫。足場につかまり直して、また登ればいいだけです。途切れるのは、ふたりそろって谷底まで落ちたときだけ。だから何度でも笑って、何度でもやり直せます。 ◆ 空の色が、進んだ距離を教えてくれる 渓谷、風の庭、雲上の遺跡、黄金の空へ。背景は登るほどに移り変わり、ロードも待ち時間もなく景色だけが変わっていきます。100mごとの到達表示が、静かに背中を押してくれます。 ◆ 10種類以上の仕掛けが待っている 動く床、昇降リフト、ジャンプ台、崩れる足場、氷の床、沈む床、消える床、横風。さらにふたりでないと越えられない協力ギミックも。シーソーは重心で傾き、スイッチ橋はふたつのスイッチでつながり、回転床は40秒かけて一回転し、風の谷は10秒周期で吹き荒れます。同じ登り方は、二度とできません。 ◆ 相手は、世界のどこかの誰か オンラインならランダムマッチで見知らぬ相棒と、フレンド招待やパーティーコードなら友だちと。言葉は交わせなくても、ロープの引っぱり方だけで気持ちは伝わります。最高到達点はランキングに記録され、世界中の挑戦者と並びます。 ◆ まずは、ひとりで 「一人テスト」なら、相棒なしで操作とギミックをじっくり練習できます。記録はオンラインとは別に保存されるので、気兼ねなく何度でも。 ■ 遊び方 1. 画面の左側を好きな位置からドラッグして、左右に移動します。 2. 画面の右側をタップしてジャンプ。スティックは触れている間だけ現れるので、画面をふさぎません。 3. 右側を長押しすると、ロープを引き寄せられます(オンライン協力プレイ)。 4. 足場に着地したら踏ん張って、相棒を引き上げましょう。空中では左右に振って足場へ戻れます。 5. 高度は、ふたりのうち低いほうの足元で計測します。置いていかず、置いていかれず。 6. 出発地点より45m下の谷底へふたりとも落ちると挑戦終了。結果を確認して、0mからもう一度。 さあ、綱を結んで。行けるところまで、いっしょに。 ※サブスクリプションに関する規約は、以下のリンクをご参照ください。 プライバシーポリシー:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1V4TKKgMDuiKV10nt33OYDSLpaeuARBPib4Rui06CnqM/preview 利用規約 : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bU2F59puS6ByM1uHiQdauddibmk4mdIzz7mKgFWEeBA/preview
